- Ownership: Dr.Kwan
- Status: Initiating
- Movivation: Given the growing body of literature and the fragmented nature of research on tourism and happiness, there is a critical need for a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to systematically map existing studies, identify emerging trends, and uncover research gaps.
- Description: This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research on tourists’ experiences and happiness in tourism from 1992 to 2025. Using co-citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic mapping, this study identifies key research themes, influential works, and emerging trends. The findings reveal four major thematic clusters: Health, Satisfaction, Perceptions, and Quality of Life, with satisfaction playing a central role in linking various subfields of tourism research. The analysis highlights a growing emphasis on well-being, digital tourism, and sustainability, along with increasing interdisciplinary and international collaborations. Future research should explore cultural variations in happiness, the influence of travel on mental resilience, and the role of digital innovations in shaping tourism experiences. This study provides a comprehensive mapping of the intellectual landscape of tourism and well-being, offering valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners.

Synthesis and Revisiting Korean Women Leaders’ Narrative: A Computational Analysis Using Structural Topic Modeling
- Ownership: Yoonjoo Cho
- Status: Final analysis complated
- Movivation: Building on Dr. Cho’s decade-long research on women’s leadership, we developed an interest in applying computer-aided analysis to the qualitative data she has collected. As an initial project, this study aims to synthesize the literature Dr. Cho has published over the past ten years and analyze the qualitative data accumulated during this period..
- Description: Over the past eight years, we have conducted eight qualitative studies on women leaders in South Korea (Korea) from the lens of work-life balance and career and leadership development, using semi-structured interviews. Given the women leaders’ 200 narratives, we felt a strong need to reanalyze the interview data to tackle the subjectivity issue in qualitative research using topic modeling that is a computational technique to mining a large volume of texts. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to reanalyze women leaders’ narratives and to examine the research themes identified through a computational analysis. As a result, we identified key research topics on Korean women leaders’ narratives, compared those with the research themes from the previous qualitative studies, and provide implications for HRD research and practice for the future.

- Movivation: Starting from the end of previous study that is published recently in Korea (Eo,S., Kim, S., & Chae, C. (2025) The Impact of Past Performance and Career Plateau on the Vigor of Public Science and Technology R&D Personnel, Korean Innovation 20, 1), we initiate a new study that using KIRD data. Several research project could be possible. As an initial step, I focus on revision of previous reserach published in Korea, first translate into English, and then develop other explanation for researchers and engineers in Korea who registrated in KIRD.
- Description: Previous reserach abstract is the following, “This study empirically investigates the impact of past performance and career plateau on the vigor of public R&D personnel within a performance management system focused on quantitative research achievements. In public science and technology research institutions, researchers’ vigor serves as a source of creativity and innovation, playing a crucial role in the nation’s sustainable development and enhancing its scientific and technological competitiveness. While past performance can positively stimulate psychological resources and motivation, boosting vigor, career plateau—both structural and job content plateau—may negatively affect vigor by lowering expectations for growth opportunities. This study aims to clarify the specific effects of past performance and career plateau on vigor and examine how past performance influences vigor through career plateau. The findings reveal that past job performance positively impacts researchers’ vigor, showing that factors such as task accomplishment, self-efficacy, positive reinforcement, and challenge can foster vigor. Furthermore, past performance was found to reduce both job content and structural plateaus, though the effect size was relatively modest. Among the two dimensions of career plateau, structural plateau was shown to have a negative impact on vigor, highlighting how structural factors—such as limited promotion opportunities in public science and technology institutions—can diminish researchers’ vigor. Conversely, job content plateau did not have a statistically significant negative effect on vigor, suggesting that the impact of job challenges or changes on vigor may be relatively minor in the context of domestic public research institutions. Finally, structural plateau demonstrated a negative mediating effect in the relationship between past performance and vigor, indicating that increased quantitative achievements can alleviate structural plateau, thereby mitigating its adverse effect on vigor. These results suggest that public research institution researchers who achieve higher performance may develop greater expectations for career advancement, allowing them to maintain or enhance their vigor. Thus, past performance plays a crucial role in fostering researchers’ vigor, offering important implications for the motivation and career management of R&D personnel. This study provides practical insights into career management strategies aimed at enhancing the vigor of public R&D personnel. Given that high performance increases vigor and alleviates career plateau, organizations should consider implementing various support systems and actively introducing reward systems to encourage performance achievement.”

Exploring Skill and Competency for HR/People Analytics: Text Mining Approach with Application of Multi-Agent LLM
- Ownership: Chungil Chae (Chad)
- Status: Planning
- Movivation: This research explores the question: What kind of talent do companies seek for HR/People Analytics roles? The study aims to analyze job descriptions for HR/People Analytics positions using text mining techniques. By extracting key skills, competencies, and qualifications from job postings, the findings will be compared with the skill competencies outlined in O*NET to identify discrepancies between industry demands and standardized competency frameworks. This research will provide insights into evolving skill expectations and potential gaps in workforce development for HR/People Analytics professionals.
- Description: People analytics and HR analytics has often regarded as tool or process that enabling strategic HR process (Suri, 2022; Mclver, Lengnick-Hall, & Lengnick-Hall, 2018). Along with the emerging popularity of HR/People analytics (Yoon, Han & Chae, 2023), previous research keep searching what would be the proper skill and competency area on HR/People Analytics (Karwehi & Kauffeld, 2021; Talerico, 2021) and has been attempted to provide necessary skill sets using advanced text mining analyses (Papoutsogou, Mittas, & Angelis, 2017; Kashive, 2022). Skill-based approach in learning has been discussed for long time and still regarded as an important idea that concerning learning outcome and training evaluation (Kraiger, 1993). Specifying the appropriate skill and competency framework for HR/People Analytics is essential to advancing an organization’s learning capacity, where the goal is to enable systematic skill development across personal, career, and organizational levels. Using Organizational Learning (OL) theory as a lens, this study positions the identification and structuring of HR/People Analytics skills as a foundation for enhancing the organization’s collective intelligence and adaptive capabilities. By defining a competency framework through text-mining results, the study contributes to creating a learning structure that supports continuous improvement and responsiveness in HR practices. This approach aligns with Watkins and Marsick’s (1992) concept of the learning organization “how we systematically design lenaring for maximum personal, career, & organizational learning & development” (Watkins & Marsick, 1992).
